Default Side Pipe Heat Shields

Has anybody ever used these? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pte-h7452

I have a set of Hooker side headers and black side pipes on my 77 and I am looking for a cheap heat shield option. These are 36" long which seem to be the correct length for my application. The only problem is I have to make my own mounting system for them but I can't see how hard that would be. Some large hose clamps riveted to them should to the trick. I also planned on painting them black to match my black headers and side pipes. Anyway... has anybody ever used these?

I bought a set of black powder coated shields from Power Portal Products. They came with all the mounting hardware and they were made to the length I wanted.

I just bought a 74 and the heat shield looks the same (although all the brands may look the same, dunno). I have a Hooker "Super Competition" exhaust manifold.



I can take some pics of the mounting brackets if you like.
